SHELBURNE — A 110-year-old warehouse along Shelburne’s historic waterfront will be restored for use by retailers and light industrial tenants, says a news release.

Ottawa announced Tuesday that it will provide $229,087 toward the restoration project.

The community-owned Cox Warehouse once stocked supplies for the many ships in port.

The first tenant of the renovated building will be the Dock Street Brewing Co., a microbrewery, said the release.

The Shelburne Historical Society will oversee the restoration work and has provided $51,430.

The Town of Shelburne will add $10,000 to the pot to go along with the rural District of Shelburne’s $6,000.

Other Shelburne County projects receiving federal money include $10,250 to the Sandy Point community recreation group for improvements to the Sandy Point lighthouse, $11,154 to the Town of Shelburne for work along Dock Street and to a building housing the local yacht club and performing arts centre, $59,150 to the Shelburne County Arena Association for upgrades and $26,530 to the District of Shelburne to complete work at Welkum Park.
